Official Match Thread HMRC v Southend United Winding Up Order

[westie]

SUFC statement June 5th 2023: In short, the petition debt and sums due to staff must, and will, be paid before 12th July 2023.

 

[Beefy]

Great info - how the heck do you know this..

If true (i have no reason to doubt) then we carry on in this endless limbo

It'll end when the National League expel us

 

[fbm]

The NL surely won't let that one fly

We have 11 players currently and aren't allowed to bring anyone else in.

If we are waiting till game week 5 to sort our **** out, we should rightly be kicked out

Ron must also have something from them to say that won't happen, surely. It would be madness otherwise, and he's many things, but not mad.

They will not let us start the season with the club in the same position it is now.

 

[Shrimper]

A 42 Day adjournemount means we are not playing. We have 11 players

 

[Holy Joe]

The number of players we have is dropping by the minute if shrimperzone is to be believed - how have we only now got 11 players?

 

[basilrobbie]

Do you know if they are normally ok with people standing if it gets full?

No guarantees obviously, but when the judgement was handed down in the Oyston case there were over sixty of us in the room, and half of those were standing.

Normally they are flexible as long as everyone behaves. And don't try to record the proceedings electronically, it will get you thrown out and potentially in trouble.

But doesn't mean can't be sorted before? I know that isn't Ron's style, granted.

 

[Whispering Bob]

One of the boys is sitting in court right behind Martin. Needless to say he is receiving lots of 'instruction' !

 

[Dazzaref]

Standing room only in court

What boys?

 

[Cricko]

What boys?

One of the numerous SUFC fans there.

For a moment I thought it was the Kimura boys.

Are they in court do we know?

 

[hlane17]

Only Southend could take this many to HMRC away.

Southend are massive everywhere we go

Don't think they would be. Nothing to do with them unless a deal was struck last minute, which we would probably know about by now.

 

[Hawkwell Blue]

And it’s not like it’s a new ground for most

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Are we allowed to sing the old North Bank songs in court?

 

[Medway Blue]

We are number 32 on the list, so imagine at least half of the hour-long session will pass before our case gets heard. Southend fans here in the double figures but a smaller room, so plenty of people having to stand.

Have the clowns and acrobats arrived yet?
